Default Head rest needed

Does anyone out there have these types of head rests for my 2003 Monte? This red Chevy emblem is next to hard to find. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have these and willing to part with them? I can’t find these anywhere.

Look at these on eBay. Do you have the plain head rests? If yes, remove the covers and have an upholstery shop or a local neighborhood suzie homemaker with the new sewing machines embroider them on for you. I did that with mine. Also years back I found the correct red bowtie emblem for these headrests on eBay. As I recall they were a heat transfer type, not an embroidered bowtie. Bet you could have some made up, check other link.

I found some in in a Monte Carlo in a U pull it. When I showed off what I had found on FB I got multiple offers but they were cheaper than what I paid for them. LOL
So I modified them and converted them to my 5th Gen Monte Carlo. Looks like it was made for it. The biggest issue I encountered during this modification was trying to find the retainer washer for the headrest I gave up on that and used a rubber grommet.
The stud rods that hold the headrest to the seat are spaced wider on the 6th gen than the 5th gen, so they had to be removed and replaced. The headrest is a solid foam I had to cut into the foam for the bottom and then remover the Horseshoe rod and then replace it with the 5th gen one, then I just used the foam that you spray around the windows and then I used a shrink wrap to keep it in place. Tape would have been to sticky and probably removed the Charcoal finish on the leather.
